3D Thursday - Altered 4" x 6" Notepad

 

Hello, Crafty Friends! Guess what? It's Thursday and time for another fun 3D Project. This week I was up at the craft desk. I have a pretty little notepad that I altered using the retiring DSP called Lily Pond Lane (163342) and the Stamp Set Courage and Faith (161500).

It goes together pretty quick and yo can add whatever you like to dress it up. I used some retired ribbon on mine.
Another fun thing to add to make a nice little gift set is an altered RSVP pen to match.

The stamp set I used is one of my favorites. I love the scriptures in it.

One more picture. Below you will find a link to click on to download and print of the FREE PDF.

3D Thursday - Altered Dollar Tree Projects

 

Happy Thursday crafty friends! This week we decided to do something a little special since May has 5 Thursdays in it and it's the last week before we take a break for the summer. We decided to have some fun and check out what Dollar Tree had to offer. and each of us do a project this week. When I walked in through the doors there was a display of Father's Day stuff right in front of me. I spied some wooden blocks, right off the bat for $1.25 each. I bought six as I didn't know if I would spell out a word or decorate one... 

I decided to go with just one. I altered the block into a friendship cube by cutting (6) 2 1/2" squares of the new Unbound Beauty 12' x 12" DSP (163372) then attaching them with Liquid Glue to all the sides. I used (3) different designs. I then used an emory board to go around the edges to give it a shabby chic look.

Each side has a different sentiment. Stamps sets I used were Happiest Day (163605), Cheerful Daisies (162390), So Sincere (162283), and Framed Florets (161815)

I stamped the sentiments in Petunia Pop (163811) onto Basic White Cardstock (159276) and cut it out using the next to the smallest Octagon shape. Next I cut out the next largest Shape in Petunia Pop (163801) to back it with and glued them to the Block on all four sides
I added some of the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (163781) to each side for a little sparkle. Oh, they are so pretty!
Here's a top view. It needed a little something extra so I dug around in my closet and found some silk flowers. The bigger flowers were white. I was going to mix up some reinker in my spritzer bottle with some alcohol, but I didn't have the Petunia Pop yet. Good gravy! How did that happen? Anyway so I used one of the Small Blending Brushes (160518) and my Petunia Pop Ink Pad to add some color. I thought it turned out pretty good. I made a bow from the Summer Splash Ribbon (163786) and hot glued it to the top along with the flowers.
  
From this...
To that...
 I have to say I did have a lot of fun altering the wooden block. It's been awhile since I've thought outside the box. I hope you enjoyed my finale project of this round of 3D Thursday. I've added Darla's and Jennifer's links to their blogs below so you can check out their Dollar Tree Finds. We will see you back September!

Happy Thursday! Isn't it crazy how fast the weeks are going by now? It's gonna be Christmas before you know it. Do you shop early or are you a last minute shopper like me? Anyway...Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's concentrate on Halloween Fun! This week teammate Darla Watson from over at Scrap Happens Here With Darlahas altered a Frappuccino Bottle into a one of a kind Candy Corn Treat Holder using the Tricks and Treats Dies (162225) for her adorable tag.

Along with the Dies set she used the Designer Series Paper Them Bones (162215). Pretty cute, isn't it.
To give depth to her Boo word she cut several of the word out and glued them together. Isn't the little ghost cute!

3D Thursday - Paper Sack Gift Bag

 

Happy Thursday, paper crafting friends! This week I was at the designer's desk. I chose to bring back an oldie but goodie of an idea which involves a mini paper sack and also some white tissue paper. I gotta tell you a little story about the tissue paper. Almost 20 years ago when I was first introduced to Stamping' Up! I went to a couple of parties and I think my "I want to do this" moment was when my demonstrater pulled out some tissue paper and stamped on it. Oh my! It really lit me up and I became so excited about it. I know, it's the little things, right. Anyway this year in May will mark my 20 Anniversary with this company. I feel very blessed, as I have met a lot of wonderful people along the way, who have become good friends. Ok so enough of that. Let's check out my project!


The project I crafted up for this week has a mini white paper sack for the base. I used the Country Bouquet Bundle (160383) and matching DSP Country Floral Lane (160375).  I also used the Vintage Bottle Punch to make my handle. It's always fun to find new ways to use our punches.


The back is just as pretty as the front.


Embossing is always fun and I wanted the heart outline and words to pop, so I heat embossed with our White Emboss Powder. I loved the results!


If you have never tried stamping on white tissue paper or other tissue paper I encourage you to do it.  It's instant gratification! For the FREE Project Sheet just click on the link below! And for all your crafty needs just hop over to my online store and shop your "heart" out.

3D Thursday - Potted Geraniums Notepad


 Good morning and happy Thursday!  This week teammate Sherri Everett Bishop from Stampin With Share Croppers has a beautiful blooms project for you!  It uses the Potted Geraniums Bundle from our new Annual Catalog, as well as some of our beautiful new In Colors! Switch up the colors and DSP to personalize your note pad even more.


This notepad measures 4" x 6", which means that you can easily adjust the background piece of DSP to 4" x 5-1/4" to create a coordinating card front.  Wouldn't this make a wonderful and thoughtful gift?

3D Thursday - Just A Little Note - Book


Happy Thursday crafty friends!  This week it was my turn at the designer's desk.  I crafted up a fun little notebook using the Artfully Composed DSP and the stamp and die bundle to match called Artfully Layered.


To make the holder more sturdy I used the white board backing from the DSP pack for the base.   I then layered just Jade on top of that and so on.


A couple of layers of leaves, a little sentiment, and some matching ribbon really "ties" the project together.  Lol I also love that the pen stays nicely in the side sleeve.


I added a little pocket on the inside incase you need a place for a note.  I purchased the little notebooks from Dollar Tree.  They come 5 attached together.   I kept two together for this project.

3D Thursday - Trash To Treasure Clipboard

Good morning crafty friends.   This week is my turn at the designer's desk.   I crafted up a pretty project using a recycled piece of 12" x 12" piece of cardboard that comes in the packs of our Specialty DSP.  I love to use it instead of throw it away.  Check out my Trash To Treasure Clipboard.  Free directions can be found out the end of my post.
I used the beautiful Expressions In Ink Specialty DSP to cover my cardboard base after I had painted around the edges in white paint.  Using 2 layers of cardboard made it pretty sturdy.
I chose to add a saying at the bottom using the new stamp set, Many Happenings and Message Dies and stamped it in Shaded Spruce.
This is the backside, so if you get tired of the front just remove the Binder Clip and clip the notepad to the other side.  Add a RSVP ink pen with matching DSP put in the tube and it makes a pretty little gift.  Are you ready to craft up a few of these?  Just click on the link below for the FREE PDF. 
Have a crafty day! And thanks for stopping by!
